injector issue
Alright so my kl is running way to rich in the mx atm so I need to switch out the modded injectors in there for some stock equivalents but I have a question. I know the KL ecu combined with the mx VAF is supposed to cause the car to run to rich so I am slightly curious if running that set up the car would run propperly with k8 injectors. I dont think I am going to try it at the expense of running the car too lean but would it be possible?

Re: injector issue
You'd have to do the math.
They probably work on siiiiimilar injector timing. Not really though, because the cc/displacement ratio doesn't add up.
K8 cc/L of displacement is 100
Kl cc/L is 88
Its mostly a guess. KL ecm with K8 injectors would run lean-er. Maybe too lean?
K8 ecm w/ KL injectors would run more rich than a KL ecm.
The O2's will try to correct it though, I think as a rule of thumb a FI car can't really burn itself up from lean like a carb'd one can, since it can adjust the mixture on the fly. Just don't fall out of its capability range.
